It all began last night, with Jared tweeting this photo, which highlights his hairy face/head and an ominous "Tick Tock" caption. Can we also take a moment to acknowledge how good Jared Leto appears to be at Snapchat? I can barely take a photo, let alone decorate it like this. Bowing 4eva.

Then came this tweet, which says, sadly, "I miss my beard already." Wow, Jared, way to break our hearts even further.

Apparently, he was suggesting things to do with his hair other than—IDK—throw it away, which included burying it and making hair balls. Whatever helps you get through this, Jared. We'll support your decision.

And then, there came this tweet from David Ayer, Suicide Squad's writer and director, with some scissors dangerously close to a ponytail. It may be in black and white, but we'd recognize that hair anywhere.

People are, inevitably, sharing their sadness on Twitter using #RIPJaredLetosHair, though there is still not actual confirmation that his hair is, indeed, RIP. We are eagerly awaiting photos of the new 'do—gahhhh.
